Advanced Imaging Technology at Airports

For those times you aren’t able to charter a private jet, Sky Limo Air Charter is helping you understand Advanced Imaging Technology with help from the TSA website. Since 2007, AIT is being used at airports. The technology, millimeter wave and backscatter, can detect plenty of threats to help protects passengers. AIT can screen passengers for metallic and on-metallic threats such as weapons, explosives and other objects that are concealed. The millimeter technology bounces electromagnetic waves off the body to create a black and white 3d image, while the backscatter technology projects low level x-ray beams over the body to create a reflection of the body that’s displayed on the monitor. You should know that the AIT is safe and meets the national health and safety standards. After numerous evaluations for the backscatter, the results confirmed that the radiation doses per screening were below the dose limits specified by the American National Standards Institute. The AIT is even safe for children, pregnant women and people with medical implants.
When you don’t feel like going through the dreaded hassles of the airport, call Sky Limo so you can fly on your very own private jet. By chartering your own flight with Sky Limo’s private aviation company, you’ll also have perks like jet concierge services.

FAA Proposes New Pilot Training

According to CNN.com, under new proposed rules from the Federal Aviation Association, airline pilots and flight attendants would have to learn to respond to real world situations and demonstrate those skills in flight simulators and emergency drills. The FAA says these would be the most significant changes in crew training in the last 20 years. In the past, pilots only had to learn how to recognize and recover from problems, under this new proposed rule, they would have to demonstrate their skills. The FAA says this addresses issues brought up by Congress and over 25 recommendations suggested by the National Transportation Board. The goals of these new rules are meant to produce qualified crews and decrease aviation accidents. CNN says a public comment period on the rule closes on July 19, so that the FAA can spend time after that addressing the comments before making the rules official. The FAA is also working on addressing pilot fatigue, regulating flight time and rest periods as well as a rule setting minimum pilot qualifications.
In the meantime, for a safe flight, charter a private jet with Sky Limo Air Charter. You’ll enjoy plenty of privacy on board, flexibility in regards to date and time, as well as plenty of luxurious perks such as a jet concierge service.

How Old is Too Old For a Plane

A well-maintained aircraft can fly passengers for decades. According to MSN, the average age for US airline jets is 11 years. Older airplanes need not only more repairs, but also costlier ones. That’s why it’s sometimes more cost-efficient to add a new plane to the aircraft fleet rather then continuously repair the older ones. Older aircrafts also require more frequent inspections. Newer jets offer more fuel savings not to mention all the updated features in the cabins like personal televisions for each passenger. Almost one out of four airplanes of US airlines flying today is more than 15 years old. The Federal Aviation Administration doesn’t set a mandatory retirement age for aircrafts.

Enjoy Traveling Again

When’s the last time you really enjoyed traveling. Not just the destination, the traveling part as well. Getting on a plane and flying towards your vacation destination should be fun and prep you towards your fabulous trip. During that time you’re supposed to anticipate all the activities to come and feel relaxed. But when you’re stuck between two passengers in the middle seat like a sardine in a can, fun doesn’t really describe the experience. It’s more like a ‘get me out of here’ moment. Not to mention, the hassles of flying commercial and having to deal with the usual at the airport. The long lines everywhere whether it’s in the security screening or waiting to use the restroom. The running around to your next connecting flight that’s typically really far from your starting point. The waiting around at the baggage carousel, hoping your airline hasn’t lost your luggage and more. When you charter a private jet, you don’t have to deal with any of it. Flying becomes part of your vacation and can even be part of the highlights. Have you ever flown on a private aircraft. Think lots of space, privacy, flexibility of making your own schedule and a view like no other. Sky Limo Air Charter invites you to book your private jet flight today!
